Just a basic query.When a serialVersionUID is defined in a Java class, is there any convention that is followed to arrive at the number that will be defined as the UID or is any random Long number assigned?

Not that I am aware of. Personally, in the past if my IDE does not generate one for me I just set it to 1L.
